Springfield is recalling all 3.3″ XD-S pistols in both 9mm and .45 Auto:

I think it's safe to say all new 9mm pocket pistols are on recall! First the Shield and now this? At least their owning up to it.

Thankfully, our Shields have been fine and did not need to be recalled.

Whoa. I had to travel into the communist state of MD today for work so I am sans pistola today but I'll be checking serial numbers as soon as I get home.

Yup. Serial number falls within series. Chasbo00, thanks for the heads up. Form submitted online and shipping details have been received.

I guess the G19 is coming up from the bull pen.

I wonder if I should wait a Few Months for the Rush to settle down?

My understanding is it can supposedly fire when releasing the Slide and also Fire Multiple times, I say Supposedly because there has not been any Reported incidents. SA is just being Pro-Active I guess.

Two incidents of full-auto were posted on the XD Talk forum along with several instances of mulitple fires.

Springfield is estimating a 30 day turn at their recall FAQ's section here:

Springfield, by their own admission, was swamped with returns this past week.

Sent mine in last Sat. after debating to hold off but decided to go ahead pending a holster for it coming in approx. 3 weeks and I wouldn't be carrying it until then anyway. I bought it new less than a week before the recall announcement and only have 50 rounds through it but it shoots nice and had no malfunctions.

My bro' said if his came out it would be on target, and it wouldn't matter to him if it went multi or full auto.

Shipping notice received. On its way home.

Well, Now that they coming home and the Rush is over, time to get off my Lazy Butt and send mine in.

Mine came home this past Wed. Disappointed in the trigger after the "upgrade".

Why the disappointment? Just curious as I was actually assuming the trigger would go south after the fix. The XDs had a good trigger due to the overall design of what needed to be "fixed".

Whelp, Waiting for the inital Rush to be over was a waste, Sent mine in at the beginning of November, Still waiting. Got an Email yesterday that said there's a backlog on parts to fix them, So expect to wait longer.

I would have thought that by now, Springfield would have gotten it together, Afterall, They knew how many guns they produced in advance, knew how many parts they needed to order to fix said guns, Sounds to me like they really don't have a Clue.

It's a shame, Because the XDs is a pretty nice gun, apparently Springfield needs to hire some better Engineers and more importantly better PR reps.

They definately dropped the ball on this one.
